WOLCOTT — We mourn the passing of Warren Frederick Green, beloved husband of Katherine (Lucian) Green who died peacefully the morning of Feb. 26, 2014, at the age of 92.

Born in Waterbury, Dec. 18, 1921, he was the son of Elizabeth (Slack) and Frederick A. Green. He was the quarterback (named Gunga Din) and a 1940 graduate of Leavenworth High School and later attended the Waterbury Continuation School, graduating as a journeyman machinist. His career commenced at the Waterbury Manufacturing Company, but was interrupted when he served his country in the Navy during World War II. He returned to Waterbury to the Chase Brass and Copper Company and later retired from the Anaconda American Brass Company in 1984.

He was a member of the American Legion Post No. 165 and the Waterbury Stamp Club. He was a lifelong member and deacon of the Mill Plain Union Church. He was a stellar bowler at the Lakewood Lanes, coached Little League in Wolcott and was an avid fan of the women Huskies of UConn.

Green Jr. and his wife, Tina, of Massachusetts; five grandchildren, Rod Recor, Bret Recor, Nicole Green Shepardson, Cassandra Green Koch and Christina Green, and their spouses; and his six great-grandchildren.
